Lucifer
A Devil’s Bargain
I watched as the two lovers fled my land hand in hand as if they had won a battle they had no idea I myself had inflicted upon them.
“I told you she would do it.” The sound of ’ voice was one I expected to hear as long before I had sensed his arrival. I knew of his fondness for his daughter-in-law, a law that extended even down here for she had wed his son in our own traditions. A tradition the Prince of Lust no doubt missed out on and felt the annoyance of the fact daily as he had missed sight of their fucking, himself.
“So, you did old friend, and therefore you may have your night with your precious Sarah, as was our bet,” I told him feeling him tense behind me. I was in tune with all of the creatures under my rule and that were forced to live in my world. But this extended further to one of my presidents and even more so to Asmodeus, being that he was part of the first hierarchy and one of ‘Lust’ no less. The fact that I also considered him a friend was another matter entirely.
“And for that I thank you… eternally,” he answered bowing his head to me as I knew he would.
“Yes, but no doubt she won’t be,” I replied making him laugh as he understood my meaning. After all, we both knew the bitter aftertaste forbidden fruit could leave in your soul, especially when they were taken from us and seemed forever from our grasp.
“And you, when will you claim your Chosen One, for now she grows more human by the day?” he asked me, making me clench my teeth at the thought of being foolish enough to think of it being this day. But then my plans hadn’t exactly turned out the way I thought they would have, an unusual cup of knowledge for me to be forced to swallow. However, my brand and my Hex placed on her neck when she was in my grasp will mean that one day she will owe me her loyalty, for only then will I truly remove it.
And I knew just the task I had in mind for her future.
“Yes, and soon she will be fully so and my time in waiting will be at an end,” I replied not because I owed him one, but more to voice it to myself as saying such things brought me comfort.
“And the sigil you placed on my daughter-in-law, your summoning mark, is it to remain?” he asked, this time making me grin as I watched that fiery soul disappearing with her tamed demon in hand. She certainly had spirit and a bravery rarely seen in one so young.
This made me think of my own Electus and wonder if she would be as she was when I haunted her dreams. An act that, although had near driven her to insanity, it had for much longer kept me sane. For it was my only connection to her, as even the Fates couldn’t protect her mind as she slept.
But that has all come to an end as did the prophecy. And each day she grows less powerful and the lingering remains of who she was to Heaven’s elite is dying as it should. The fucking Fates can say goodbye to their puppet for she will soon have a new master.
Me.
“It will remain hidden until I have need of it again,” I told him, and silence descended as we both thought of times ahead. Mine consumed by the nights her mind was mine and soon to be the days her body would be too.
“Do they know it was you who cursed them?” Asmodeus asked me and for a moment I had been so lost in my thoughts of her, that I almost forgot he was still there.
“No, they believed for a time that it might have been Cronus.”
“Ha, you had your fun with that bastard too quickly.” Asmodeus sniggered.
“And you also as I do recall, what was that thing you had fucking his ass for days?” I asked making my friend throw his head back, this time a laugh as if the thought amused him as much as it had watching it.
“A cross breed, something I am working on, but the harpies bitches love it.”
“I bet they do,” I commented dryly making him chuckle once more. No wonder the bastard was always happy with the amount his cock saw action. I had little care to see my sexual thirst sated these days for the only body I wanted to take as my cock’s slave was hers and she wasn’t that far from reach now. I simply couldn’t wait to play with her.
“What will you do with her when she is fully human?” Asmodeus asked of me, now that the sickening lovers were out of sight. I turned my back on the vast dead land I owned, and this time looked at him when I delivered my answer,
“Why, kill her of course, how else is she to get into Hell.” Then I walked past him back to my own castle home,
“And then?” he asked being the curious bastard he was by nature. So, I looked back over my shoulder and told him what I had recently learned was possible…
“Time to see, if she too, can tame her master’s beast.”
The Happy Ever
